I chanced across this book in a very serendipitous way. No one is an island, and any time I have been able to lean into good-enough friendships 1, I feel viscerally restored and repaired, as Christopher Alexander in A Pattern Language understands repair to exist. I’ve been invited into homes and hearts, and write these words from a place in Seattle that has come to represent respite, friendship, and brotherhood. Some of you, many of you, have blessed me and cared for me in kind ways, sometimes with very little knowledge of what was going on, or why I was the way that I was. I’ve found Pete Walker’s Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving to be deeply helpful.
